THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT.

About Me

For "TAKE ALONG" 2/25/08
Television Buzz is a rock trio out of Athens, GA...the other A-town. We've been kicking it since 2002, and you've probably heard us on Hot 100.7 or Bulldawg 103.7 if you're local. We released our signature EP, "TREASURE CHEST," in 2005, to some glowing reviews. After a few years of slogging it out around the southeast, we recorded a new full-length that we're still trying to figure out the gory details of releasing. Sadly the band decided to call for a time out and played its last show at the Rye Bar in Athens, GA, on April 25 2008. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over our long career or playing, and we hope you enjoy what is in store in the future, whatever it may be.

Thanks to these radio stations for continuing to play TREASURE CHEST on the airwaves across North America! Who says rock is dead? Well, besides rock magazines?
